Body Sculpting Plastic Surgery Procedures

 
 

Liposculpture (Liposuction)

The removal of excess accumulations of fat from specific areas of the body is called liposculpture. The most commonly used technique is called tumescent liposuction and it has steadily evolved over the past fifteen years.

Tumescent means that the tissues have been prefilled with saline and dilute epinephrine to reduce bruising and facilitate fat removal. The cannulas, or tubes we use are extremely small enabling us to precisely control and sculpt the tissues. Occasionally, we will incorporate ultrasound energy or the power-assisted technique for extended cases.

The beauty of liposculpture is that we can dramatically change a person's body contour in just a few hours. Areas that previously have not responded to dieting and exercise can simply be recontoured with a very short recovery period. Because of the great results, liposuction has become the most commonly requested procedure in America today. If you would like to know more about liposuction, please call us for a complimentary consultation.

    Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty)

    Abdominoplasty is a terrific procedure for tightening abdominal skin, reducing stretch marks and getting rid of the "pouch" that hangs over a waistline or cesarean section scar. Abdominal contours can frequently be improved by liposuction alone, liposuction with mini-abdominoplasty, or full abdominoplasty. The choice of treatment is carefully directed at each patient's unique skin and body characteristics.

    During your consultation, we will evaluate your abdomen for muscle weakness, skin tone and excess fat to formulate the best treatment plan for you. Depending on the type of treatment necessary, recovery can vary from a weekend to several weeks. If you would like to know more about the options available to you, please call our office for a complimentary consultation.

     


     

    Thigh & Body Lifting

    Sometimes, after substantial weight loss excess skin accumulates around the hips, inner and outer thighs. Removal of the excess skin can create a new, smoother contour.

    These body-lifting procedures are directed towards the inner and outer thighs, flanks and buttocks. These procedures may be combined with abdominoplasty as a circumferential body lift. These highly specialized techniques are recommended to individuals with specific needs and goals, determined after a personalized assessment. As always, the staff at Plastic Surgery Arts would be happy to help you evaluate your options.

     


     

    Upper Arm Rejuvenation (Brachioplasty)

    With aging and weight change, the upper arms may develop hanging or loose skin. Understandably, many patients find this undesirable and request information about treatment options. Fortunately this area can often be improved with several plastic surgical techniques. Liposculpture, skin removal or a combination of techniques may be required for optimal results. Recovery is typically quite short and most patients report to us only mild discomfort. If you would like to learn about upper arm contouring, please call us for your complimentary consultation.
